HAVING read over the years about problems, etc, about Bournemouth and Poole’s refuse collections and now the latest talk of Poole having to pay for garden waste, I feel they have nothing to complain about.
Under Christchurch Council we pay the council 36p each for a paper bag which they collect once a week for garden waste (you need two to put much out), they are taken away, so every week you need to renew them; the same applies to refuse collections. We supply our own strong refuse bags which have to be renewed every time rubbish is put out, only one small box is supplied for papers and bottles together for free.
We pay higher council tax than Bournemouth and Poole.
